Mumbai Indians (MI) once again showed why they are a force to reckon with as the Rohit Sharmas team outclassed Delhi Capitals (DC) by five wickets in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Suryakumar Yadav and opener-cum-stumper Quinton de Kock chipped in with a crucial 53 runs each to help MI, chasing a 163-run target, register their fourth win on the trot, and fifth overall, from seven games so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The win at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium also helped the defending champions leapfrog DC to reclaim the top spot in the points table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chasing the target, MI opener Rohit Sharma (5) departed early, thanks to Axar Patel who had him caught by Kasigo Rabada.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The fall of Sharma saw Suryakumar Yadav (53) joining de Kock (53) in the middle and the duo steered MI to the 50-run mark in 6.4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The partnership, however, didn't last long as Ravichandran Ashwin sent back de Kock in the 10th over with MI's scorecard reading 77\/2. de Kock's knock saw four boundaries and three sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan (28) then added 53 runs in the next 31 balls as MI recovered from the early damage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speedster Rabada finally got rid of Suryakumar in the 15th over before Marcus Stoinis further jolted the defending champions after sending back Hardik Pandya for a duck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Just after MI managed another 22 runs to their total, Rabada sent Ishan Kishan back to the hut to raise DC hopes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Keiron Pollard (11) and Krunal Pandya (12) dented DC's expectations as they comfortably drove their side home with two balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For DC, Rabada picked two wickets for 28 runs while Axar, Ashwin, and Stoinis bagged a wicket each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, some economical bowling by MI saw DC managing a fighting 162\/4 in the allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Opting to bat, DC lost in-form opener Prithvi Shaw (4) and Ajinkya Rahane (15) early.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Shikhar Dhawan (69 not out) kept on end intact and received good support from skipper Shreyas Iyer (42) in the middle as the pair anchored DC's innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The duo were involved in a crucial 85-run partnership for the third wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After Iyer's departure in the 15th over, Marcus Stoinis (13) too, fell cheaply before Dhawan and Alex Carey added 32 runs in the final 21 balls to help DC post a respectable 162\/4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dhawan's knock was decorated with six boundaries and a maximum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Krunal Pandya picked couple of wickets conceding 26 runs while paver Trent Boult managed one for 36 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief scores: DC 162\/4 wkts in 20 overs (Shikhar Dhawan 69 not out, Shreyas Iyer 42; Krunal Pandya 2\/26) lost to MI 166\/5 wkts in 19.4 overs (Quinton de Kock 53, Suryakumar Yadav 53, Kagiso Rabada 2\/28) by 5 wickets<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mumbai-Indians-beat-Delhi-Capitals1.jpg", "alt_img": "Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals", "alt_title": "Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "IPL 2020: Suryakumar, De Kock Shine In MI's 4th Consecutive Win On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Mumbai Indians (MI) once again showed why they are a force to reckon with as the Rohit Sharmas team outclassed Delhi Capitals (DC) by five wickets in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday night.
